Kenya Undergraduate Scholarship for International Students 2011, USA

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

International students accepted by Berea College are fully funded for four years of study (5 years for nursing students). We ask that each international student pay a one-time fee of $50 and a $2,200 deposit before coming to Berea to help with costs for medical, dental, or other miscellaneous, unexpected expenses related to college attendance. Students may apply for an exception to paying the deposit if there are inadequate family finances. The funding provided by Berea College includes cost of education (the equivalent of tuition) and fees. Costs for room and board are also covered completely for fall semester of the first year. Because all students at Berea contribute to their educational costs and to the operation of the College via the Labor program, you will have the opportunity each term to contribute to the cost of room and board. The amount of your contribution is based upon your time on campus, or rank (sophomore, junior, senior). As a result, the amount you will pay from your labor earnings toward room and board (term bill) will increase each year. This formula is designed to never exceed your ability to pay and to always leave you with money for discretionary expenses, provided you earn a minimum of $1,000 each summer.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 5 February 2011
